Service robotics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Service robots assist human beings, typically by performing a job that is dirty, dull, distant, dangerous
- r repetitive, including household chores.
They typically are autonomous and/or operated by a built-in control system, with manual override
- ptions. The term "service robot" does not have a strict technical definition.
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) has proposed a tentative definition: "A service robot is a robot which operates semi or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations."

Why PIC4SeR?
SLIDE 11
- Many of the current research, innovation and
development in the service robotic field, can be classified as disruptive technologies
- Several uncorrelated research projects and industrial partnerships (already available inside PoliTO) must
be harmonized and coordinated to optimize the results
- To start a common workplace, a common knowledge and a common language
- To develop an integrated approach and technology
development process in this booming area
- To help PoliTO reaching a critical mass in this sector
(instead of several scattered initiatives)
- To link together technology needs coming from several
industrial partners
- To start interdisciplinary didactic activities in this area
- To join several international research communities with a unique “face”
and coordinated research proposals
